Deployment Dates

Deployed: 2016-04-19
Removed: 2016-09-23

Sensors Deployed

  • 1 NRLITE2 (Kipp & Zonen) net radiometer mounted at 3.4 m above ground level
  • 2 FW3 (Campbell Scientific) fine-wire thermocouples mounted at 4.4 m above ground level

Notes

  • Surface renewal sensible heat flux measurements were corrected with calibration coefficients developed between surface renewal and eddy covariance measurements at Station D11 (Staten Island Corn).
  • Station was originally mounted with instruments at 1.5 m above bare soil shortly after planting.
  • Station was removed for field operations from 2016-05-17 to 2016-05-23.
  • Station was set up on a higher structure in anticipation of corn growth with instruments mounted at heights noted above.

Daily Evapotranspiration and Energy Balance Components

Summed daily net radiation (Rn), surface renewal derived sensible heat flux (H SR), and actual evapotranspiration (ETa SR) derived from the energy balance residual. Ground heat flux (G) was assumed negligible at the daily scale.

Columns plotted: Rn_Avg_gf_mm_Dqc, SR_aH_gf_mm_Dqc, ET_SR_gf_Dqc, ETo_mm


Daily ETa / ETo

Daily calculated ETa divided by daily ETo obtained from Spatial CIMIS.

Columns plotted: Ka_SR


Half-hourly Energy Balance Components

Average net radiation (Rn), and calibrated surface renewal derived sensible heat flux from each thermocouple (H Tc and H Tn), and the average of the sensible heat fluxes measured by each thermocouple (H SR).

Columns plotted: Rn_Avg_qc, SR_aH_qc, Tc_aH_qc, Tn_aH_qc


Half-hourly Average Temperature

Half-hourly Average temperature measured by each thermocouple (Tc and Tn) and by the internal datalogger reference.
Columns plotted: Tpanel_qc, Tc0_Avg_qc, Tn0_Avg_qc
